[The Unmitigated Gall]

1. MAGAT twerps...

Playing with a lighted match in a puddle of gasoline.

[jimfields33]

2. I don't know. I'd hate it if one of the republican presidents

did that to Nancy in the past.

[triron]

3. WTF?!

[jimfields33]

4. We do have three separate parts of government last I checked.

[Attilatheblond]

13. Any only one president. Currently, that is Biden, NOT Trump

The majority of the House wants the aid to pass. Weak Speaker is afraid of the most radical members AND a private citizen who is in a death fight for staying out of prison.

When weakest Speaker in history takes orders from a private citizen scores of criminal indictments, it is time to sit on that weak, cowardly Speaker who is working for Putin's puppet instead of the USA's best interests.

Sit on the little weasel, and sit on him HARD.

20. And the President has the bully pulpit

and can use it for exactly this type of thing.

[Kingofalldems]

14. Not one bit surprised.

[jimfields33]

15. Yeah. 3 separate branches.

[Kingofalldems]

16. Trump thinks he is a branch.

And he tells these people what to do. I support President Biden over a traitor.

[tritsofme]

17. I mean...presidents spend an hour each year at SOTU telling Congress what he wants them to do.

Telling Congress what the president wants is a big part of being president...Not sure I understand your apprehension.

[Torchlight]

21. lol

[Fullduplexxx]

5. Well he can yell all he wants it's a co-equal branch

[Red Mountain]

7. Mike?

That you?

[Mr.Bill]

6. If Mike Johnson took orders from Biden

he would be removed from his Speaker position as quickly as possible.

[Red Mountain]

8. Just a matter of time, anyway

In case it's not obvious when the Repukes get what they ask for they STILL aren't happy.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

22. Joe often speaks of the "EXTREMIST MAGA REPUBLICANS" in the House

When pressing for Legislation that is of concern to the American people.

Joe points out a lot that they "serve the American people", not you-know-who. He will keep emphasizing that as time goes on because he KNOWS!

[tritsofme]

9. Only way out is with a discharge petition. Probably take flipping a dozen Republicans or more, hard to believe "Squad"

members will vote for the bill, but the vast majority of Democrats should be on board.

[Hekate]

10. Good for President Biden. He is not without power & influence over the other branches ...

He negotiates, and he knows the levers of power (none better) , but I notice that he does not volunteer to emasculate himself or his office.

[LudwigPastorius]

11. Damn straight.

It’s called the bully pulpit for a reason.

When a pipsqueak like Mike Johnson endangers our national security by blocking a vote, bypassing him and asking his constituents to vise clamp his nuts until he relents is a righteous play.

[Hekate]

12. Very righteous

[kelly1mm]

18. Well the President can demand all he wants but absent a discharge petition (a likely outcome)

he has no power to force the House to consider squat. Just like when Trump was president and Speaker Pelosi was in charge of the House.

I don't know if demanding a vote here is actually productive.

[Prairie Gates]

19. Did he strenously object?
